What are urinary catheters? Urinary catheters are hollow, partially flexible tubes that collect urine from the bladder. Urinary catheters come in many sizes and types. The catheter tube leads to a drainage bag that holds collected urine. Catheters are generally necessary when a patient is unable to empty their bladder. If the bladder isn’t emptied, urine can build up and lead to pressure in the kidneys. The pressure can result in kidney failure, which can be dangerous and may result in permanent damage to the kidneys.

Foley Catheter Urine flow is blocked. The doctor will have to change the bag or the Foley catheter or both. The urethra begins to bleed. The doctor will have to monitor the bleeding. The Foley catheter may introduce an infection into the bladder. The risk of infection in the urine increases with the number of days the catheter is in place. If the balloon is opened before the Foley catheter is completely inserted into the bladder, bleeding, damage and even rupture of the urethra can occur. In some individuals, long-term permanent scarring and strictures of the urethra could occur. Bladder spasms can occur when a catheter is placed.
